Commercial advertisement aims to convey communication messages that are delivered by the company to potential customers. Advertising is a medium where someone shows something to others, with hope that the other person will do something to fulfill the desire of the message sender. In commercial advertisement, a company does its effort to sale its product by using engaging languages. However, there is a unique thing in the world of cigarette advertising in Indonesia.
